Patrick's French Bakery & Cafe

Voted Best Twin Cities Bakery!

  • 2 Locations
  • Wide Selection of Pastries
  • Best of Citysearch 2004

Their selections of French breads include: baguettes, country bread, 7-grain breads, petites and grandes boules and speciality breads like Tomato Provençal and Roasted Red Pepper. Croissants, pain au chocolat, apricot soleil and Pineapple Danish (Patrick's personal favorite) are available every day. But it is the individual pastries that take most customers breath away. There are the wonderful standards like éclairs, napoléons, fruit tarts and crème brulées, but it is Patrick's specialities that are beyond description. Trilogy Chocolate cake, Feuillantine Pralinée and Tiramisu are favorites. Here's a description of Patrick's Tiramisu, by well-known food writer Dara Moskowitz: "...a glazed taupe pyramid surmounted by flat multicolored bracelet of chocolate, as though one of the rings of Saturn had come to rest on one of I.M. Pei's Louvre additions...

Editorial Review for Patrick's French Bakery & Cafe – by Donna Tabbert Long

In Short
Half of the pristine room is devoted to bread and pastry; the other half is filled with dark-wood tables, black-and-white photographs of the Eiffel Tower, and even a window to watch the delectable temptations being prepared. Parisian-born owners Patrick and Azita Bernet (they met at the Paris Cordon Bleu), outshine with their repertoire of French classics. Locals and nearby office workers sample savory, rich bacon-onion tart spread with blue cheese and, for breakfast, silken mini-quiches.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I felt like I stepped into another country when I walked into Patricks. You are greeted with a long glass counter filled with the most mouth watering desserts, cookies, and pasteries. It was easy to get sidetracked from what I initially when in there for..lunch! The breads are all baked there. Amazing. Try the chicken finger sandwhich. It's addicting!

Pros: Desserts, Bread, Location

Cons: Pricey...but well worth it

I might sound like I have a man crush on this place and so pardon me. Through a french born friend of mine I was recommended here. Since then I've bought several birthday cakes and many other items. The flavors, the preparation, the finish, and the smells are all to die for. I always had a weak spot for good ole american birthday cake...I'll eat the icing until I am woozy...Patrick's cakes are the only ones that break me from my addition even on my birthday. The great thing is I never feel woozy. I am sorry for the lack of detail in my response...this place is simply spectacular. Make your someone's birthday truly special and get them a cake from Patricks...or make my day special and bring me a cake, seriously...I work in USbank's building and like to eat lunch outside on the benches on Nicollet Ave, just walk around with the box and I'll find you :D :D

Pros: Every single crumb

Cons: When the cake is done and I am sad :(
